say [Hello!] with effect [bold v] :: looks

say [Hello!] with effect [rainbow v] :: looks

say [Hello!] with effect [underline v] :: looks

say [Hello!] with effect [upside-down v] :: looks

say [Hello!] with effect [strikethrough v] :: looks

say [Hello!] with effect [italic v] :: looks

Could be useful.

Support! It could really help with characters who speak a certain way. But there should be an option to add the amount of seconds you want to do so.

Yeah, it will add the same blocks for the

say [] for (2) secs

block.

As said earlier, this might be rather useful for characters who have different voices or speak a different way!
I kinda wonder how these would look, though.

Rainbow would look like this

Support, this would be a really nice thing to use for certain games where dialogue is an important factor.

Also, maybe add italics?

Added!

set speech [text v] color to [#000000]::looks
set speech [background v] color to [#000000]::looks
set speech shape to [round v]::looks
set speech shape to [square v]::looks
set speech text to [bold v]::looks//bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, downside-up.
clear speech effects::looks

This could work along with the existing blocks.

Non-Support! What is the Sense of It?

“speech shape”? What do you mean?
Would “clear speech effects” have the character still say what they are saying, but with no effects?
"set speech to "? What would this block even do?
To be honest, I like the blocks I came up with better.

Your blocks only allow one effect at a time. I think that the blocks below would work the best, but that’s just my opinion.

add [bold v] effect to [speech v] :: looks // second dropdown is speech or thought, first is all of what wou suggested + all
remove [bold v] effect from [speech v] :: looks // same dropdown  was above
(effect [bold v] enabled for [speech v] :: looks // still same dropdowns

Not sure if there should be a way to differentiate between speech and thought effects or if the effects should be applied to both and treated as one.

I believe something like this was added to the Scratch 2.0 beta test but was removed for unknown reasons. It would be nice to have something like this, so I support.

Semi-support.

Although this would certainly be a nice aesthetic thing to add, I'm personally indifferent to whether or not this is added, since I rarely use the say blocks anyways except for occasionally when I'm debugging.

1. Speech shape would be the shape of the speech bubble.
2. Yes
3. “set speech (background) to (color)” This block set the background color of the speech bubble.
